Say between city A and city B, is the flight plan pre-determined and the pilot simply follows the map going up or down and turning left or right? Or, is it that at every point during the course after takeoff the pilot is guided by the ATCs about the altitude and direction: left, right, up & down to take to reach the destination?

The problem I think for him is he doesn't have full purifial vision. He can see strait ahead and to the side of his left eye. However, he cannot see out the side of his right eye. He can only see ahead of him in his right eye. How does this effect him in airlines as a pilot? Can he still fly? Could he be a copilot and just work on operating buttons but not acually have to fly the plane for full time? Or if he can't fly an airline plane can he fly a smaller aircraft?

why do airplane cockpits not have built in cameras which are connected to the black box so in case of terrorism reports or hi-jacking they can see who did it how they did it so why isnt this in progress?

A supersonic Concorde aircraft crashed on take off at Charles De Gaulle Airport, Paris, France in July 2000, the aircraft were all withdrawn from service recently. Would you still want to fly on the Jet ( if you could afford it ) even if they had not been withdrawn from commercial passenger service ?

I've just got off a flight from Birmingham to Edinburgh. Considering this flight is mostly overland (if you forget the Firth of Forth), it seems strange that at least half of the safety briefing is about how to put the lifejacket on.

So while there are lots of statistics about how many plane crashes there are and how safe air travel is, I would like to know how many lives have ever been saved by those yellow life jackets? I'll bet it's very few.

When you pay money to a professionally organised airline company, you in effect contract and entrust yourself to them and their professionally trained aircrew to take you safely to your chosen destination in aircraft valued in the multimillions, Hyjackers by their actions, in effect take control of passenger aircraft by force & against your will, in your opinion, what type of personality profile do hyjackers have ?

Is it :
a: Cowardice, fragile, self glorifying, irrational.
b: Mentally & emotionally unstable, unhinged.
c: Egotistical, uncaring, malevolent, detached
d: Just Plain mad.
e: all of the above ?

Feel free to add your own comments, with "expletives" if you like to express yourself in such a way!

An Airbus A330 Flight from Canada lost almost all of its fuel about 300 miles from landing in Portugal. 150 approx miles from landing, it had lost all engine power. The Pilots decided to divert to the nearest airport on an Island, they flew the Jet on auxilliary power "gliding" all the way & landed on the airport runway bursting all the tyres as they landed. All the 200+ passengers & crew got off safely ! "Superb Aircraft" or "Super Pilot Skills", your comments please !
